Quote: A currency board is a system ...

Though it may may well seek to operate a system of currency regulation such as that described in the article -- indeed be set up for that very purpose -- surely a currency board is an authority or institution of some kind, not the system itself? -- Picapica 10:27, 3 Aug 2004 (UTC)

Is this the same thing as a fixed exchange rate? Paul 06:28, 9 December 2005 (UTC)

I agree with Picapica and Paul. The article is misleading. Rviision is necessary. Readers might find this link interesting: http://users.erols.com/kurrency/intro.htm Regards, PBES

Could it be said that the banks of Scotland and N. Ireland, which have to deposit English sterling before issuing Scottish/Irish sterling, operate on this basis? Ian 18:14, 30 November 2006 (UTC)
